Improvements to Privacy & Quality
An upgrade to your Gyroscope experience!
The latest version of Gyroscope app is out in the App Store. We’ve added many improvements, including:
- Removing Facebook login for better privacy. Set a password online first, and then log back in through the app!
- Better battery & accuracy in Places
- Simpler Health tab to help you lose bodyfat
- New photo based food tracking
When we started 4 years ago, people were only syncing a few data points a day. The Apple Watch hadn’t even come out yet, and almost no one had a heart rate tracker. Now the average person can have thousands or even millions of data points coming in daily, and the cost of syncing and analyzing everything in realtime has gotten considerably higher.
To keep offering the great quality and privacy our users expect, we’re discontinuing the “free” and “pro” tiers of Gyroscope to focus on building the one simple experience for our customers. This will require an affordable monthly subscription, and we encourage everyone who wishes to keep using the app to subscribe now.
This lets us guarantee complete privacy (we never sell data or show ads in the app) and ensures that the members relying on the app can keep storing infinite amounts of data and syncing instantly.
Anyone can now start using Gyroscope for about the price of a coffee, and get access to the best health tracking and weight loss tools available.
How will all of this help you? We recent asked our members why they pay for Gyroscope. Everyone uses it differently, and here’s some of what we heard:
“Tracking my life in Gyroscope helped me lose 75lbs!”
“I like the accountability that Gyroscope creates in my life. The data collected is there, every day; it’s up to me, and me alone, to do something about it.”
“Love the ability to track my location without sacrificing my privacy to Facebook and Google.”
“When I look at my subscribed apps, I always wonder whether I really need them… except for Gyroscope. Never regretted purchasing a subscription. Worth every penny.”
“I do physical activity just so that I can have data to fill sexy looking charts in Gyroscope :)”
“I think I’ve been using Gyroscope for a while now and it’s by far one of the subscriptions I have that brings me more joy.”
“Gyroscope allows me to visualize my health in incredibly unique ways — no other apps or services come close.”
For the next month, existing members can keep viewing their last 2 weeks for free in the app. New members can get started with the one week free trial to start for free and see if it for them.
If you are finding Gyroscope useful, you should switch to the membership now to continue using the entire app and storing older history.
If you decide you’re not interested in paying for the service, that is fine. You can export your data at gyrosco.pe/export/ until the end of the year. After that, data in inactive accounts will be removed to protect your privacy.
Thanks!
